Founded by Goya Gallagher and named for Nut, the Egyptian goddess who personifies the sky, Anut Cairo builds its table linens and pottery around the country’s living artisan communities rather than a purely decorative idea of Egyptian style. Its embroidered linens are hand-worked in Cairo, its glazed earthenware hand-painted by potters in the Fayoum village of Tunis, and its woven bedspreads made by textile artisans in Akhmim and Sohag along the Nile. The house’s embroidery training school gives local women a skill they can practice from home, turning each hand-stitched piece into part of a wider, ongoing project.
The Nile Lotus Placemat repeats the same lotus motif drawn from antique Ottoman samplers in linen and hand embroidery, part of a design language shaped by the 1920s explosion of Egyptian-inspired decoration in the West. Its double-sided, hand-worked surface means the placemat can be set either face up, depending on the light and the table it dresses.
Founded by Goya Gallagher, ANUT draws its name from Nut, the ancient Egyptian goddess of the skies. This new lifestyle brand celebrates Egyptian heritage and craftsmanship, bringing the light, warmth, and magic of this unique country into homes around the world. At its core, ANUT is about people—fostering communities and engaging with local craftspeople, designers, and creatives. From their busy embroidery school, which enables women to learn a skill and work from home, to an Artist Residency programme that connects artists to a flourishing community of artisans working with ANUT, beautiful millennial crafts remain relevant in contemporary décor.
